IN LOOKING AT THE NHTSA DATA BASE, COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE STARTED IN 2013.  SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS ON 2013, 2014 AND 2015 NISSAN ALTIMAS.  I CONTACTED NISSAN LAST WEEK TO COMPLAIN AGAIN.  THEY SAID I NEEDED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BILL ROBERTSON NISSAN, TO GET THE HEADLIGHT PROBLEM DIAGNOSED.  I TOOK MY CAR IN ON 9/24/19.  THEIR METHOD OF 'DIAGNOSTICS' WAS TO TAKE ANOTHER 2013 ALTIMA THAT THEY HAD ON THEIR LOT AND TO PUT MY CAR AND THAT CAR SIDE BY SIDE AND TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEN CONCLUDED THAT BOTH SETS OF HEADLIGHTS LOOKED ABOUT THE SAME.  THEY DID NOT MEASURE THE LIGHT OUTPUT OR DISASSEMBLE THE HEADLIGHTS TO SEE WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR.  THEY SIMPLY COMPARED MY CAR TO ANOTHER CAR ON THEIR LOT.  AND FROM THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2013 ALTIMAS, MOST LIKELY THE CAR ON THEIR LOT HAD DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS ALSO.  FROM READING COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA'S DATABASE, IT IS CLEARLY EVIDENT THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 - 2015 ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS IS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE REFLECTIVE LINING INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT.  THIS RESULTS IN ONLY A FRACTION OF THE LIGHT FROM THE BULB BEING PROJECTED FORWARD TOWARDS THE ROAD.  SINCE I FIRST COMPLAINED, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, MANY MORE COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA.  THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND ALSO A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM.  WHY HASN'T NHTSA INITIATED AN INVESTIGATION?","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"NISSAN","productModel":"ALTIMA","manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc."}]}]}
